Check Ride has been in business for over 30 years and in that time we’ve helped thousands of students learn how to safely navigate the roads as a commercial truck driver. We take truck driving seriously and our students’ success is the main goal for every program we offer. Our owner, Jeff Smith, conducted commercial driver's licensing skill testing for the department of licensing for over 18 years and served on the steering committee that helped the DOL develop the mandatory CDL training standards. As a truck driver/owner operator and heavy duty truck mechanic, Jeff understands the demands placed on today’s truck drivers and has keen insight into the skills necessary to excel at the job. More than a longtime school owner with a managerial presence, Jeff is still directly involved with our students and oversees the day-to-day process that makes our training such a success.
